I'm a really big fan of vintage, I'm not going to kid you. So when I picked up this book I thought it was going to be a perfect fit. I read the book when it first came out, two or three years ago. So (*does math in head*) 7th or 8th grade. That should be a good thing since I was around the same age as the main character but it just didn't work out let me start with the good things first:tThe art was absolutely amazing, I still go back and look at it from time to time because it's that good.The idea was pretty original, and the writing had no obvious grammatical which is always a plus.Now here are some of the things I didn't like about it:The main character was a bit lacking in her personality. Even though she was supposed to be twelve, she seemed to be more along the lines of ten. With no thoughts of anything except herself and how terrible it was that her closet didn't have vintage clothes.Some of the interactions that the characters had seemed forced. Like they were trying to shove a square peg in a round hole.The pictures were off from the description. The main character is supposed to have brown hair and yet all of the pictures show her with black, sorry, a bit of a pet peeve of mine.Everything seemed to work out the way it needed to the way you expected it. The main character wants to be hit on by a tall, handsome man from the 40's, it happens. She want to know about her mother's "mysterious" (not really) past. It happens, though she does have to wait a few days, so we should probably feel terrible for her.I really wanted to love this book, I did. But there were a few things that drove me insane, tat later affected my entire idea of the book. Sinopsis personal: Louise ama la moda vintage. Nuestra protagonista -Louise- recibe una invitación para ir a una tienda de ropa vintage... en algo así como rebaja. La chica se prueba un gran vestido color Rosa, según la historia mas adelante, pertenece a una actriz de los años 1912 llamada Alice Baxter. Las empleadas de la tienda, le advierten sobre el vestido pero ella insiste el probárselo. La chica viaja al pasado, sustituye a la señorita Baxter en un barco que según la historia iba a naufragar -RMS Titanic- Louise tiene que comprender y aprender lo que verdaderamente significa la MODA VINTAGE, antes que el Titanic naufrague. PD: Este libro es muy fácil de leer, lo podrías leer en unos 3 dias. Muchos dicen que el libro es muy malo, para este libro es para el publico infantil... como aun no he crecido mentalmente, este libro me encanto.
